A great page turner. I really enjoyed the hard science fiction and that decisions have consequences. Id love to explore the biological roots of this universe.

Highly recommend

spoiler thoughts

The helpful spiders that live in the dark is still unsettling.

"Shards Of The Earth' by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

Moon sized monsters are attacking all inhabited worlds and a rag tag team must find a way to save all civilization.

Fun read.

The audiobook narrated by Ray Porter is also a highly recommend. Top notch narration on top of a great story. I could binge it for hours without getting tired.

very minor spoiler

In particular, I like how they implemented the voice of Rocky.

i just watched the movie

Wow, they really speed ran the final act! I'm not sure movie goers would get the motivations

Pretty good for a movie adaptation, the main character was more of a buffoon then i think is necessary, but maybe the director thinks that plays better.

Was it just by version of the film, or did the master this on a estate sale reel to reel tape deck ? Lots of warbling
